Can you help give rehome three black cats?

The Scottish SPCA in Angus is seeking new homes for three black cats. Staff at the charity’s centre at Petterden think the felines may have been left on the shelf because some people believe that black cats are bad luck.

Centre assistant manager Dale Christie said: “Unfortunately sometimes our black cats can wait longer for new homes than our other felines.

“Our current black cat residents, Ruby, Brady and Fitz, have been with us for over five weeks with no interest.

“We believe this is because some people think they are unlucky, which is a real shame as they are gorgeous cats who will make lovely companions.

“Ruby would be well suited as a farm cat as she can be quite a feisty girl, although she can also be affectionate when she wants.

“Brady arrived here after being found with very sore eyes and he needed an operation. However, this loving boy is now feeling much better and is ready to find a home.

“Fitz arrived here as a frightened stray but is now a very friendly boy who enjoys being petted and playing with his toys.

“If anyone is interested in offering one of our black cats a new home they can call our centre on 03000 999 999 and we would be delighted to hear from them."
